Check out this story about PTU, @PortlandDSA, and Councilor Mitch Green speaking out for a @homeforwardnews tenant who was nearly evicted. Quick collective action helped keep him housed.

Leeor lays out some of PTU's demands for @homeforwardnews.

We need your solidarity more than ever!

[Omaha Tenants United @OmahaTenants]

From the beginning of our organizing efforts in Omaha, we knew that building a movement of tenants would not be easy. We knew it might lead to personal risk and retaliation from the powerful landlord lobby.

@AllIsFreeForMe If we decommodify housing entirely, rent control won't be necessary.

[Portland Tenants United @PDXTenantsUnite]

Write to the Oregon Senate Committee on Housing and Development encouraging them to support SB 722 to ban price fixing AI apps statewide (yes, like that city council ordinance) AND reduce the number of units exempt from statewide rent control. https://t.co/LnfWwzqVXk

I was having too much fun to remember to take pictures, but the 2025 Winter Social was a blast. We talked about the past and the future, made connections, and enjoyed some delicious pizza with beverages. Hope to see you at the next one!

New Twitter does not like us pushing tenants to testify, so it's blocking our links. You can find all the bills at olis (dot) oregonlegislature (dot) gov/.

[Portland Tenants United @PDXTenantsUnite]

On the positive side, HBs 2967, 2134, and 3521 support tenants rights. Consider writing testimony in support at the following links.
